i started on my lunch it was an impulse thing haha, got the bumper off and cut. had to wait till after work to do the rest.

i reeeally need to finish the rest cause it looks like a snowplow right now.. so hopefully side skirts next paycheck and ill do the rear bumper this week. somehow i always end up driving a project around haha this was supposed to be my easy daily driver oh well.

Kinda reminds me what romeo291 did by Frenching the 430 lower bumper. This might have been interesting by doing a cut from a 98+ 2-LS.

I really like the progress on this. what are you going to do about the exhaust when you do the rear bumper?

thx for the input guys. i never thought about pulling a section from a newer year that could be something nice n subtle. on the exhaust thing, i kinda want to put some turn down tips and have them hidden behind a valance/ rear lip thing. or section the rear the same as the front so it looks the same just maybe not as dramatic cause i already have problems gettin in n out of some driveways lookin forward to not driving around a project haha

your work and craftsmanship, plus your thought patterns get a thumbs up from me, but at 77+ I am glad it is yours and not mine..... it's tuff being old... just a stocker with a little chrome.
